Makes senseWhere did you get that information?

I would guess it was found out from testing. I noticed this when I first started playing that they did quite a bit more damage when I was not cursed. They do not ignore your defenses though(pretty sure) if you are cursed. It was more obvious for me though because I always wore heavy armor on my first playthrough.

I'm not talking about that, i knew that ghosts ignored armor, i'm talking about the fact that the bracketed numbers are innate defense.

Go to Mugen Monkey, make a build, look at the bracketed numbers, take off all your armor, and those bracketed numbers will be your defense. I figured it out when I got curious about it one day.
